@Rob It was a badge I was chasing for years....
(On another site)
Apparently I don't have it officially yet tho
 
Rob
It hasn't shown up in the network profile or your other two top sites, but congratulations.

@JourneymanGeek Bug or Dev Joke?
@JourneymanGeek It was on this site, two minutes ago.
03:30 UTC, kicked in from yesterday.
 
Quick tip for anyone posting feedback answers to announcement posts: include a ## Heading at the top of it that summarizes its basic gist, similar to what you'd write as a title had you been posting it as a new question. This makes it easier for others (especially the team) to have an idea about it when reading your feedback.
 
4:30 AM
@Rob seems legit
MSE had been taking up more of my time lately
SU rep needs fun projects. Time isn't conducive
 
5:29 AM
@Rob I switched to the 4a 5g at the start of the year - tmo/fi cut my ph1 usable bands to the bone
Good phone so far; excellent battery life
 
6:16 AM
@Rob well as long as no oscopy comes with it, I'm fine. (not 50 yet ;))
@SonictheCuriouserHedgehog think ## is too big, used ### so far.

@Mithical I think something happened and they aren't able to start yet
 
Rob
@Shog9 Is that the one you replaced the screen, or a Pixel?
@ShadowWizardisVaccinating How about otomy?
 
@SonictheCuriouserHedgehog ref.?
 
Just saying that it may not be SE's fault
@Shog9 Essential PH1?
 
7:39 AM
@SonictheCuriouserHedgehog maybe but I'm kinda impatient over how slowly this all is going :(
 
@Rob better
@Mithical no worry surely in 6-8 months it will appear...
 
@ShadowWizardisVaccinating I would hope for a lot more than one diamond and staff flag in 6-8
 
@JourneymanGeek lol
Sorry can't help it.
(it's a sad laugh)
 
8:26 AM
@sha if you have time could you update this Q to use the new closebanner? meta.stackexchange.com/questions/130169/…
Glorfindel just closed one as dupe of this, but he doesn't have the gold bug hammer
 
8:50 AM
@ShadowWizardisVaccinating well there comes a point where promises and sweet talk needs to translate to action
 
9:30 AM
status-completed
@JourneymanGeek sorry, my trust in the company was never restored and most likely will never be. Maybe they're doing some good things recently, that's good, but I don't trust them to keep it up. Not the dev layer of course, the highest levels.
So I'm standing by, watching, and that's about it.
Maybe the delay with the new CM is a sign to something bad behind the scenes, e.g. manager(s) getting cold feet about the whole thing and freezing the changes. Won't be surprised if that's the case.
 
Oh, that would be bad
 
I doubt it though, there was a fair bit of media attention
 
Well the recent CEO blog post proves (to me at least) the main, if not only, focus of SE is the Teams product. CM's aren't really required for that. So....
 
Teams, careers....
 
9:37 AM
Review changes come from Teams, so it makes sense they'll adapt it in the f2p version.
 
oh, teams has no review queue
 
SE got very hard competition with Jobs/Careers, so I'm pretty sure they do their best to nourish Teams, where they have less competition.
@JourneymanGeek really?? huh
 
actually, teams has very little in the manner of moderation
 
@ShadowWizardisVaccinating You know, it can be as simple as starting yesterday and not being thrown in front of the lions immediately :P
It took a while before Catija got her diamonds everywhere too.
 
@Tinkeringbell lions who will detect staff bit in profile and do... what? ;)
Yaakov himself said the new CM should start in February the 1st.
Of course nobody is expecting the new CM to start manage Meta, or any site, on his first day. :D
 
9:43 AM
@ShadowWizardisVaccinating Open chatrooms? I dunno.
 
@ShadowWizardisVaccinating meh :D
 
@Tinkeringbell no no... not talking about diamonds. Just staff bit which should be instant and clear sign the person actually works for SE.
 
@ShadowWizardisVaccinating I know you're not talking about diamonds, I'm not that stupid.
 
@Tinkeringbell how much is 1+1?
:P
@Tinkeringbell demanding what? ;)
 
@ShadowWizardisVaccinating things can happen in time
 
9:45 AM
Still, I'm getting a bit tired of all the conspiracy theories and whatever. Either just ask someone that may be able to answer you, or accept that it's not there yet and will happen eventually.
Things like chat.meta.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/8744520#8744520 are so far-fetched they're really not helpful.
 
but... its one CM, and I know messy onboarding can be in the best of times
 
@Tinkeringbell just sharing my thoughts. Which aren't always bright.
 
@ShadowWizardisVaccinating You don't always have to be happy, but at least stick with the facts and don't start spreading rumors like that.
 
@ShadowWizardisVaccinating Its certain we are getting one CM
and the gentle nagging will continue until headcounts improve
But if things are so bad there's no hope, I'll go somewhere else
and I would say a situation where SE would downsize someone they haven't even started counts.
OTOH, work takes months to provision accounts, soo maybe we an blame paperwork :D
 
10:36 AM
Received a "too many requests" error message when browsing through review queue pages. First one I've received in years.
3 hours ago, by Sonic the Curiouser Hedgehog
@Mithical I think something happened and they aren't able to start yet
"happened [on the hired person's end]"
I doubt there's something nefarious on SE's end.
 
or y'all need to stop refreshing his profile every 5 minutes :D
 
@SonictheCuriouserHedgehog chewed up like homework due in 20 minutes.
 
11:18 AM
@JourneymanGeek what's the fun in that
 
@ShadowWizardisVaccinating thx
 
(I mean, I want more CMs as much as anyone but you don't see me speculating)
 
this thread can probably be marked as solved?
 
@bad_coder just close as no longer reproducable
 
@Luuklag I don't use the site in question so I can't really confirm.
(this chat has a different ping sound btw)
 
11:46 AM
@bad_coder generally we leave status-foo retags to staff, so with stuff like this, its probably not really worth flagging to re-tag
 
@JourneymanGeek ok, that was confusing. Thanks for explaining. (no status-foo on SO main...)
 
@bad_coder essentially we handle most flags, but knowing if an issue is resolved needs staff. I doubt staff will remember this, 6 years on :D
If you want to close, go ahead.
 
@JourneymanGeek nah I'll leave it. I'm trying to read through the [badges] tag, and I'm somewhere in 2014...(At one point I started thinking if something should be closed...)
Tim Post, Shog, and Jon Ericson wrote a lot of good post through the years...There's some amazing wisdom behind their ideas. (Retrospectively it explains SE as new users come to know it.)
 
12:02 PM
Well, that's a critical part of running a community
Somewhat underappreciated
 
Rob
12:22 PM
@JourneymanGeek He only has 90 views, refresh ...
 
Most of them are probably y'all
 
Rob
1:20 PM
With almost 5 years on SO, 16 Q&As (one with 13K views) and 22K reach, I'd suspect that we don't constitute most of the views; if anything he's view deficient.
 
 
3 hours later…
4:29 PM
The close vote dialog for duplicate selection is broken, at least for me and a few others. I repro-ed here on MSE and MSO
 
4:51 PM
@rene aaaannndddd fixed!
 
@rene Next time I find a bug I'm going to ask you to post about it. If I do, nothing happens!
 
5:06 PM
@Tinkeringbell sure, no problem, happy to help ;)
We can conclude that a catchy title helps ...
2
 
Hmm. How do you write catchy titles for answers? ;)
 
ah, yeah. That is hit-and-miss.
 
To be fair, the other bug I reported got two comments... I haven't tried to see if that meant it was fixed...
I'm still getting upvotes there so I guess no XD
 
5:21 PM
The answer is useful, so that explains the votes.
 
I probably missed the 'well-written' then, without the catchy title :P
 
You well-screenshotted it ....
That green thingy in the right bottom is Grammerly?
 
Yep...
 
Ok
 
I have to say that. I can't say it's a supersecret mod-button :P
 
5:24 PM
LOL
 
 
3 hours later…
8:08 PM
@Tinkeringbell "sorry, only mods are allowed to have good grammar"
 
8:32 PM
@Mithical no, because I'd be lying if I said it was.
